The fun part of being a self-employed creative is that I got to be my own boss! I could choose to work in the morning, late at night or not at all! Sounds great! Hmmm .... yes and no.

Yes - I have all the freedom and free time to do anything.

No - I have to be freaking good at self-motivation or I won't get anything done.

Right now, I have managed to maintain a daily schedule to work on my papercuts. But a lot of the time, I feel like I'm only going through the motion!

And I also thought my life would be filled with all sorts of interesting creative activities, like beach combing to get inspiration etc. Nope! I spent most of my time at home in front of the cutting table or the TV. (God bless * Game of Thrones *!) Honestly, I go out because I need food or have to visit the doctors! And I live only a stone throw away to the beach!!!

This is getting on my nerve big time!

Well I think I need to stop here otherwise this will turn into a self-obssessed rant. But then it might not be a bad idea! ;)

Anyway, here is something that I've been working on in the last few weeks.

This is where I call home since last September. I'm still trying hard to follow my new life direction.

My Beach

What new direction? From being a full time worker to become a self-employed creative. Very scary and I'm not sure if this is right for me. But if I don't do it while I still can, should I wait til I retired.Somewhere there's an old saying: The best time to start is 20 years ago. Next best time is NOW! So here I am.
